Summary

Ridgewood Elementary School is a public elementary school located in East Moline, Illinois, serving grades K-4 with a total enrollment of 414 students. The school is part of the East Moline School District 37, which is ranked 774 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ridgewood Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools, with a ranking between 1167 and 1590 out of around 2,000 schools over the past several years. The school's performance on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) tests is significantly below the state averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 34% of Ridgewood students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 53.1%. Ridgewood's performance is also lower than the East Moline School District 37 average, indicating that the school is underperforming compared to other schools in the district.

Ridgewood Elementary School has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.6% to 28.9% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The nearby schools in the East Moline School District 37, such as Bowlesburg Elementary and Hillcrest Elementary, have similar academic performance and demographic challenges as Ridgewood Elementary. However, some schools in the Moline-Coal Valley CUSD 40 district, such as Jane Addams Elementary and Benjamin Franklin Elementary, perform significantly better on academic measures, suggesting that factors beyond just district-level resources may be contributing to the differences in student outcomes.
